YOUR JEKYLL ISLAND VACATION HOME
Welcome to Mocama—a two-bedroom, two-bathroom Jekyll Island vacation rental named after the Timucua, the people who called this place home long before it had a name. Mocama means “the sea”—or, depending on who you ask, the place where the sun and moon are born.

Built in 1955 and designed by Laurence Miller (the architect behind the King and Prince and the causeway towers), it was one of the first homes constructed after the Gilded Age elite found paradise lost. History runs through the walls here—but it’s not a museum. It’s a beach house of legend.

Mocama is 2.3 miles from Driftwood Beach and 2 miles from the Jekyll Island Convention Center. Close enough for sunrise, quiet enough for stars. Inside, it’s all mid-century charm and barrier island soul—white-beamed ceilings, open sightlines, and black-and-white photography shot by the owner on Georgia’s wilder edges.

The living room has a fireplace, a flat-screen TV, and plenty of room to stretch out or pile in. French doors lead to the sun porch—part guest quarters, part secret clubhouse—where two twin trundles, a 60" smart TV, and a second dining table make it the go-to for coming of age, sleeping through breakfast, and game nights left unsettled.

The kitchen’s built for actual cooking, not just looking—a full suite of tools, center island for prep, and a bar pass-through to a dining nook that seats six under a chandelier that’s pure accidental Wes Anderson.

My new bride and I rented 3 Bliss for our honeymoon. It was just what we needed. Great location, with easy access to the beach and bike path.

Doug B from Buchanan, Michigan recommends this vacation rental

The dishwasher leaked on the floor and was replaced while we were there. The shower heads should be replaced. Other than that it was nice.

Some things that almost always apply with a rental like this near a beach: hard floors since house is built on a slab. Furniture not as comfortable as it could be.

Enjoyed our time very much. The proximity to town and the historic district was great. We had two minor issues and the folks from Emmons were most prompt and helpful. Only suggestion is to put in a hand towel rack in the back bathroom and an additional bath towel rack. We loved the sun room.

We took our grandson for Holly Jolly Jekyll and had a wonderful weekend. The house is lovely- older but absolutely perfect in every way- all kitchen conveniences (Grandson & I baked Christmas cookies, made a fruit tray, baked cinnamon rolls etc). The king bed was excellent- Grandson slept on the twin bed /front bedroom and he felt nice & cozy tucked up in there.

Logon

Mocama

Welcome to Mocama, a brick-front Jekyll Island original framed by live oaks and azaleas. Classic 1950s lines, modern comfort.

Grill under the oaks—this backyard at Mocama offers the kind of Jekyll Island peace you can’t book by the hour.

Start your mornings with coffee and sea air on this classic Jekyll Island front porch—anchored (literally) by coastal charm and that signature blue door.

Step in from the Jekyll Island breeze to painted beams, soft light, and original mid-century detail—Mocama’s charm kicks in before you’re even fully inside.

A five-minute drive to the Jekyll Island Convention Center and just 2.3 miles from Driftwood Beach, this light-filled living room delivers easy charm, exposed beams, and a peaceful perch between sessions or surf.

A splash of Jekyll Island personality, a 60” TV, and enough seating for movie night or morning coffee—this living space feels like the right kind of retreat just 2 miles from the convention center and 2.3 from Driftwood Beach.

Settle in by the painted brick fireplace or catch a game on the flat screen. Mocama’s main living space is as comfortable as it is central—just minutes from Jekyll Island’s convention center and beaches.

Under a chandelier that feels straight out of a Wes Anderson frame, this dining space serves up vintage character and beach-cottage calm—perfect for dinner after Driftwood or lunch between Jekyll Island Convention Center events.

With original cabinets, a deep farmhouse sink, and everything you need for real meals, this Jekyll Island kitchen is a cheerful basecamp between beach runs and convention days.

From pour-over to pancakes, this bright Jekyll Island kitchen keeps you connected to the conversation. Bonus points for the vintage stove and a direct sightline to that chandelier.

Whether you're prepping snacks for the beach or winding down after a conference at the Jekyll Island Convention Center, this open-concept space keeps everything within reach—and beautifully lit.

Wake up surrounded by windows and soft coastal light. This king suite at Mocama is full of warmth, space, and Jekyll Island ease—less than 3 minutes to the beach and under 2 miles to the convention center.

Full closet space, a mounted smart TV, and a layout that keeps things uncluttered—this king bedroom balances mid-century simplicity with Jekyll Island ease.

A true full bath with a tub/shower combo, original ceramic tile, and a bold splash of beach-cottage blue—classic Jekyll Island style with everything you need.

This smart hallway layout places the full bathroom right between both bedrooms—easy access, great privacy, and a natural flow for families or two couples.

This second bedroom features a Wueen bed, soft lighting, and a hand-painted coastal headboard that brings the spirit of Jekyll indoors. Perfect for a second couple, teens, or solo travelers.

Spacious, serene, and filled with natural light, this queen bedroom at Mocama offers plenty of room to spread out—just steps from the full bath and right down the hall from the kitchen and sun porch.

French doors open into the bonus sun porch—featuring two twin trundle beds, a 60” TV, and seating for board games, naps, or late-night movies. This flexible space can sleep four and be closed off for added privacy.

This second dining area and 60" smart TV make the sun porch just as good for movie night as it is for morning coffee. Surrounded by windows and tucked into its own wing, it’s the perfect flexible zone for extra guests or extra relaxation.

Two twin trundles sleep four in this tucked-away bonus room with French door access, wraparound windows, and a view toward the main hallway. A perfect retreat for kids, cousins, or friends who stay up talking.

The second twin trundle sits in its own sunny corner with room to write, read, or relax. Between both beds, this bonus room can sleep four without sacrificing charm or comfort.

Tucked off the sun porch, this second full bath includes a walk-in shower, full washer/dryer, and plenty of storage. Bonus: that exposed brick detail adds serious character to a very practical space.

From the moss-draped oaks to the hand-painted “BLISS” marker, this Jekyll Island front yard sets the tone for the stay—laid-back, lived-in, and unmistakably coastal.

Right off the back patio, this utility zone includes a deep wash basin, beach chairs, and extra essentials—perfect for rinsing off sandy feet or staging up for a day on the shore.

From fresh towels to labeled extras, this laundry area isn’t just functional—it’s guest-ready. With full machines and tidy storage, long stays feel easy and organized.

Every stay at Mocama includes guest access to the Days Inn pools—this one is open seasonally from April to November and has full sun, plenty of loungers, and a classic Jekyll Island feel.

After a beach day or sunset bike ride, wind down in the guest-access spa at the Days Inn. Heated year-round and just a few minutes from your front door.

The guest-access pool deck at the Days Inn. A full-size pool.

Mocama guests also have access to this shallow kiddie pool at the Days Inn—perfect for supervised splashing and sunny afternoons with the tiniest beachgoers.
